Iowa Voters: Barred Lab Tested All Iowa Vote Machines

State election director Sandy Steinbach reports that all of the voting machines in Iowa were tested by Ciber laboratory. Ciber has now been barred from further testing by the federal Election Assistance Commission(EAC). The EAC action was taken in July but kept secret until the New York Times broke the story last week. According to the Times, Ciber was suspended because it "was not following its quality-control procedures and could not document that it was conducting all the required tests."
